Google has been doing MSS clamping for a long time, I've seen this myself
in packet captures and Lorenzo also confirmed in his email:
"...some Google servers temporarily stopped doing MSS clamping."

They do it for a good reason: to prevent PMTUD as it introduces delay and
their customers (eyeballs) wouldn't like it. Lorenzo and others explained
this too several times.

The world is not spinning around sixxs and your design ideas. Please turn
off write-only.
